My Wine Review & Notes:
I thought the Kim Crawford Pinot Noir was good… but not great.
It has a very bright red color and a very high viscosity, which gives it the impression of a light fruit juice.
It has a light feel, anyway, but the taste is heavy impact – it’s interesting, in a way, but not complex or structured at all, no tannin feel to speak of.
It gets a little tiring and abrasive as I sip more of it; it’s not offensive but I probably wouldn’t get this again.
